Re: javacomp.sh error on "make"

[Paul Price]

I found the problem.  If I simply do "configure", then I get:

checking for Java compiler... javac

And:

address@hidden:/usr/share/java>ls -l `which javac`
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           23 Sep  1  2004 /usr/bin/javac
-> /etc/alternatives/javac*

So "javac" points to the alternative script that produces the failure.

The problem was that the javac alternative pointed to the java (not
javac) placeholder:

address@hidden:/usr/share/java>ls -l /etc/alternatives/javac
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           42 Sep 28 11:54
/etc/alternatives/javac -> /usr/share/java/libgcj-java-placeholder.sh*

After I fixed the symlink, the gettext build works fine.

No idea how it got like that.  Looking at other RHEL3 systems, the
symlink is fine.  I'm concluding that this is (somehow) particular to my
machine.

Thanks for your help!  Sorry to trouble you over something so silly.
